Wishing you and Happy Birthday weekend Cheryl !

hbcheryl

Thank you for the birthday wishes. Yesterday I participated in a Body Combat filming, as I drove home I decided I was going to stop and get myself a piece of custard pie to celebrate but I was so tired that I just passed right by the store as I couldn't be bothered getting out of the car so came home and had a cup of tea and an English Kit Kat (yes there is a difference, English chocolate is so much better) Badger enjoy my glass of wine

Happy Bday Cheryl!

Hubby and I walked in the mall a little today. Will do another workout later today.

ruthbru

Pilates and some walking. I'm going to Beauty and the Beast tonight.

Ginger48

happy bday, Cheryl!

LB-love the sign. I hope to get to London one of these days. DD loved her semester abroad there.

Way to go on all the steps, Vargadoll!

Karen-enjoy your break. 2 more weeks before mine.

Ruth-how did you like the movie?

Edited to add-I did Zumba this morning. She really had us working hard

hbcheryl

Ruth I'm going to B&B tomorrow. Ginger I miss my Friday night Zumba I need to get back to it.

This morning did Body Pump (new release week here in the US LB, not sure if I like it but it was a butt kicker)

Just catching up with everything as working crazy hours. Happy birthday, Cheryl!!! Loved the sign about "carrying on", LilacBlue. One of the things I love about London too, and also a reminder that there are few things in life that a nice cuppa doesn't help.

I did my last ski today for the season which brings the total to 21. I feel very fit and strong, although also admit that it hurts to sit down. Dread what it will be like getting back on my bicycle in 2 weeks following my NYC trip. - Claire

From today starting out.

.

This is Frog Lake which is starting to melt out. Mt Catherine is in the distance. About 5 miles of skiing back to the base and my car. Not as nice snow further down.

This is from last Sunday. The most glorious day and I climbed to the top. So exhilarating!!! about 5k of climbing to get to this point, and about 10k back to the base. The descent was fun on top, but got "technical" further down because alternate soft and ice depending on whether in the sun. New skis are super fun to ski the downhills.

Snoqualmie Pass and the east-west I-90 below. It was closed a lot this winter. It's fun to be driving west and point up....way up....and mention that this is one of the places you love the most and that you get there by CLIMBING ON YOUR SKIS!!! A girl needs to use those bragging rights.

This looks like a lovely trail in the woods, but just around the top, prior to the descent. Did I mention thrilling to ski?

On the way down looking down Snoqualmie Valley. You can just make out the Olympic Mountains in the distance (row of clouds). You can often see Seattle from here, but it's in the blue just below the line of clouds.

Looking good Cheryl and our lease date is April 1st. Ginger, glad your daughter liked her semester here my son would like in uni to study a year in the US; he has citizenship yet never lived in the homeland. Claire, nice white countryside photos and yup, general consensus is that tea can make anything better. Today is mother's day here and will be taken to dinner tonight and going into the gym to practice #76 as I'd like to start it as soon as possible. The current #75 is what we have stayed on because of bird pose and for the past two weeks after 8 weeks, most are flying even for a little bit: Sunny and spring lovely in the Kent hinterlands and wishing you a relaxing, enjoyable Sunday.

ruthbru

Great pictures, Claire!

Fun picture, Cheryl. And, alas, Lilac, I will never be able to do that Bird Pose!

I walked quite awhile and forced myself to do 30 minutes of abs.

Ginger, Beast & the Beast was my favorite Disney movie when DS was little, so it was fun to see it introduced to a whole new generation and find that I still loved it too. Very enjoyable!

hbcheryl

Ruth I loved Beauty and the Beast too. LB she makes it seem so effortless but alas I can't even get my hands flat on the floor

This morning did Sprint which is a 30 minute HIIT on a bike class

karen1956

DH and I started on taxes today...so frustrating when you have basically no deductions but still work!!

Not the best walking day as I sat too much getting the taxes ready...so may pace in the house a little bit.

Meeting a gf tomorrow to go to the Botanical Gardens and another gf for coffee on Tuesday. Still need to connect with 2 or 3 other gf, but not enough time. I have a couple appointments this week and lots to do in the house!! Mom's stuff (important papers etc) are in boxes on the floor in my spare bedroom/office and it looks like a disaster as my DH just commented. We also need to tackle the crawl space and shred taxes from earlier than 2010. Don't want to guess how many years are in there!!

DD leaves tomorrow night for Poland for a week with a school trip. It us educational and I hope to hear all about it. She will be off the internet during the trip so won't get my usual share of pictures.

So glad to have this week off.....couldn't have come soon enough. After spring break only 2 more months!!!

Sweet dreams.

A gentle hour of yoga yesterday, a light arm workout (using my shampoo and conditioner bottles as "weights"... ha!) and 30 slow minutes on the elliptical trainer while my BF's kids were at gymnastics at the Y. I'm starting to get movement back in my arms, which is amazing. It's just stiffness now with minimal/no pain. Every day is a little bit better! So grateful.

LilacBlue

Cheryl, she always makes it all look effortless; Jackie is amazing. BCyogi, good news and happy for you on progress with your arms as I can relate. Slow and consistent movement worked best for me too. Got an invite to the Kent and Medway Cancer Alliance workshop on 21st. of April, this will be interesting.

Pink pilates this morning (we will be taking off the next three Mondays for Easter break), Blockfit - then BB practice #76, (almost there, I think by Wednesday I'll have it down pat). BB tonight.

Going to workout after dinner

Falconer

Woke up 45 minutes early this AM so I could get a half hour of yoga in.

Ladies, you really are doing the trick; keeping me inspired to keep on truckin!

No one is posting on the Running 2017 topic so I'm coming over here. I was a runner before all this cancer crap started and I am desperate to get back to it, get my body back. Chemo has been cruel and steroids haven't helped. I had BMX on March 15th. The BS didn't say not to, so I've been walking and maybe just a wee bit of running happened. Five miles yesterday and today, with today feeling a lot better. My breath, which was the first thing to go, is getting better. My foot callouses, which chemo destroyed, are coming back. I start Herceptin and Taxol shortly and would like to be in better physical shape befor that begins.

Falconer

Bareclaws, welcome and great news that you are able to get some of your old self back. I understand how you feel about grabbing a little glimmer of that old self before you go back into another treatment round. Go!!!

Wonderland

Welcome Bareclaws! Cancer crap is a perfect name for what you are going through. Good news that your breathing is getting better.

Cheryl: I love that picture of you!

Hi Everyone. I walked/ran this afternoon.

ruthbru

Welcome, Bareclaws! Listen to your body (of course) and whatever you can do now will help you bounce back faster once you are done with treatment.

Walked this morning & yoga tonight.

Wonderland

Claire: I forgot to mention your gorgeous pictures! Breath taking.

karen1956

welcome to bear claw. Be sure to listen to your body, it knows what it needs. Sounds like you are in great shape running 5 miles so soon after surgery.

On our nightly walk after dinner it started raining. We sure need the moisture. Day 1 of spring break is done. The week is going to fly by way too fast! Loving having more time to walk and walking in the morning after sunrise!

Sweet dream

karen1956

Here is the recipe. Sorry it is sideways .

Ginger48

welcome BearClaw- wow! 12 days after BMX I still had drains and was barely getting out of my recliner chair. Glad you are feeling so well. Just be sure to listen to your body.

Ruth- I enjoyed the movie too.

Did Zumba after work today.

bareclaws

karen1956, I knew that people would think a ran five miles. I was on my feet, moving forward for five miles, not running the whole time-just a little bit. But more on Monday than Sunday. Today just 1.8 miles. I have a sore on top of my toe, rubbed by Five Fingers, so can't wear them, and callouses on bottom of feet aren't there, yet. (I cried when my callouses started disintegrating during chemo. Also had a couple of episodes of hand/foot syndrome, but only on feet. That was nasty.) So I guess it's short distances, yoga, hula hooping and general cardio until my feet can get built up again.

coffeelatte

Claire, such beautiful photos. I have never been skiing but it sure sounds wonderful the way you have described it in your posts this winter. I love the visual from the photos. You are certainly in great shape and a huge inspiration the way you have so elegantly moved beyond cancer without getting suck.

Falconer

Rain today so ran 2 miles on the dreadmill. Teaching moms yoga tomorrow afternoon. What are your favorite yoga poses?

bareclaws

Does anyone have favorite hula hooping workouts to share or link? My hooping up to now has just been goofing off with grandkids but I'd like to get more serious about it. I cut and assembled 15 hoops today with the tubing I had left and am starting to add the mirror and gaffers' tape. (I'm moving in a few months and wanted to get these done so they can go with me. One of my goals is to get my waist smaller than my ribcage! And add some pecs to make the BMX less noticeable.

ruthbru

This is pretty cool!

Tao Porchon-Lynch, 98, has been getting up at 5am to teach yoga for more than 75 years.

Now, the world's oldest yoga instructor, who was raised in India and lives in New York, has shared her advice and the mantras she swears by in life.

'Anything is possible, nothing is impossible,' Mrs Porchon-Lynch said.

'When you wake up every morning say "this is going to be the best day of my life" and it will be.'
